Games today-Portlands at Lawrence.
Hayerhills at Salem, and Lynns at Manches-
ter.
Its reported that the Lowells have Sc
cured the promise Of Meade and Cahill, the

/ and averaging up what each would get III the
| Sl2co were eqally divided. Now the state
/ ment made by the PRESS was true In every
! particular and 1t makes not particle Of dit
ference what the News or the base ball pub
/ lie believe. But the News should remember
/ that the Portlands have no player named
/ Murphy ON their nine to share the S12C) as
it states and that it may be mistaken In re-
| gard TO some Of the other men IL quotes. II
/ surely Is in regard TO one other who has not
| been with the nine for some time. Now the
News should figure up what the Portlands
would each receive II some Of them got what
they made Manager Fessenden believe they
| did when he was last here.
The games in the New England League
for the past few days have been a marked
| Improvement over those Of the drst of the
season and several Of the clubs way down
in the list have been doing a good deal bet
ter work. This Is gratifying and the fact
that the Portlands have been able to keep
their fine record up through IL all Is eSpee-
tally so.
Hunting Is to pitch for the LawIences
against the POrtands today.
The POrtlands are the boss kckers.-Low-

defeat, but the Lowells charge II to the um-
